If Eji really noticed the temptation just now, ordinary people would definitely react. After all, their lives are at stake. Even if that person is acting, there should at least be signs to follow, and his behavior...either is this person's scheming.
Being profound, he can be as steady as a rock even in times of crisis.
Or, he really didn't notice it.
If it's the former, then this person is terrible.
If it was the latter...he would naturally be free of suspicion.
E Ji prefers the latter.
He guessed that Rong Batian was hiding because someone was helping them behind the scenes. It was the same time before. If someone hadn't caused trouble, he would have caught them long ago. They would not have been injured later and had to be recalled to the sect.
E Ji analyzed that there were at least two groups of people behind the scenes helping them. One group was the person who helped them escape in the first place, and the other group was the person who hurt him before.
No matter which one, he hated it with itch. Unfortunately, the people below were useless and no clues about them had been found so far. And since then, they seemed to have disappeared from the world. No matter how much they inquired, there were very few clues.
.
This time, the disciple died for no reason. He had an intuition that it was definitely related to Rong Batian and these two gangs, and this city was his primary suspect. For some reason, the more traceless he was, the more suspicious he became.
Nothing was left out, and the more suspicious he felt.
However, this guy can be ruled out of suspicion for the time being.
As for everyone else…
Ling Xuewei looked away when she sensed the seemingly invisible oppression. She calmly picked up the wine glass in front of her, a light flashing in her eyes.
This night's banquet was full of feasts and feasts, but it was secretly turbulent and full of temptations. Only those with an attentive mind could see this, and most people were kept in the dark.
Soon, the night passed.
All the guests dispersed.
"Elder, no suspicious person has been found yet."
"I know, you go down."
E Ji slowly closed his eyes.
After a long time, he opened it and said, "Here comes someone."
…
"The night is finally over, little brother, come to my place to sit for a while?"
"No, let's try another day."
"That's fine."
Hei Laowu sent Ling Xuewei and the others to the door before leaving.
"Sir, you are back."
Tan Ji came up to him and the group entered the room, "How is it?"
"Don't worry." Di Jian made a safe gesture to everyone. Everyone sat down, and Di Jian told everything that happened at the banquet.
Although they were not at the banquet, they could still imagine the undercurrent.
When Di Jian said that E Ji was testing in that way, everyone couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Ling Xuewei.
E Ji is ruthless, if he really kills people regardless of outsiders, then...
"Sir, this is too dangerous, how can you..."
"Uncle Tan, it's okay. He won't be really cruel in that kind of situation." Ling Xuewei said with a smile.
Although E Ji is ruthless, he is not stupid.
To be honest, even Huangfu Chen and Di Jian were breaking out in cold sweat at that time. At that time, they were almost about to take action, but Ling Xuewei's eyes stopped them. At the critical moment, their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.
Fortunately, he finally stopped.
"Fortunately, after what happened tonight, he should have temporarily dispelled his doubts."
"It's not that simple."
Ling Xuewei and Rong Batian spoke at the same time.
The two looked at each other and Ling Xuewei said, "This matter is not over yet. Just in case, everyone should be alert tonight."
late at night.
The courtyard is extremely peaceful.
Several figures fell from the sky, landing on the trees and on the roof, about six of them. They sneaked into the room quietly, and suddenly there was an exclamation, "Who is it!"
Soon, the sound of fighting came!
"Someone is coming! There is an assassin!"
"Protect the young master!!"
Di Jian and Huangfu Chen rushed out and started fighting with several people. The original peace of the small courtyard was broken.
boom!
The window exploded, and a figure rushed out in panic. The boy was pale and was being chased by two people. His body was rolling on the ground, barely able to escape the stabbing sword. When the two people over there saw this, they were even more frightened.
"Sir, be careful!"
"Who are you?"
All the herbs that were dried in the courtyard were knocked over, and the young man hid in a panic. There were many dangers. At the critical moment, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Who is there!"
"There's an assassination attempt!"
Seeing someone coming, the seven of them stopped fighting and said, "Let's go!"
Soon he jumped up to the roof and disappeared into the night.
"Sir, are you okay?"
"fine……"
"Young Master, he is from the Black Tiger Gang...Thanks to them being here, otherwise..."
Over there, the people from the Black Tiger Gang hugged them, "The city has not been peaceful these days. The boss was worried that thieves would cause trouble at night, so he asked us to stay near the small courtyard. Knowing that the young master likes to be quiet, he didn't let us show up.
, please don’t blame me, young master…”
"How could it be possible? Thanks to you tonight..."
Ling Xuewei still looked a little panicked, and she was still wearing pajamas, which made her look particularly thin and thin in the cold wind...
In the darkness, a dark shadow captured this scene, and soon disappeared.
Ling Xuewei glanced here, the light in her eyes fleeting.
"Sir, it's cold at night."
Huangfuchen put his cloak on Ling Xuewei, and Ling Xuewei nodded at him.
"Sir, please go back to the house."
In order to fear that the thief would come back again, members of the Black Tiger Gang stayed in the courtyard all night.
there.
"How?" E Ji asked with a cold face.
And weren't the people standing in front of him the same people who attacked Ling Xuewei's courtyard tonight?
"Reporting back to the elder, there are indeed only three people in the small courtyard. During the fight, the disciples went to the room and searched it. There was no secret room or anyone hiding. Mr. Yan's skills are very ordinary, but his two guards are somewhat capable, but Xiu
It’s too low to be a concern.”
The leading disciple continued, "Disciple thinks that this person is not pretending."
"I know, where are the others?"
It turns out that Xiaoyuan was not the only one who was assassinated tonight. This was E Ji's last test. Whether it is a human or a ghost, you will know with one test.
The people below will continue to report...
Small courtyard.
It wasn't until dawn that the Black Tiger Gang left, and Di Jian personally sent them away before returning to the courtyard.
Ling Xuewei led the two of them directly into the space.
As soon as they entered the space, Rong Mu and others greeted them. They had been waiting for news about them. They were relieved when they saw that the three of them were safe.
He had guessed that E Ji would not give up easily, and sure enough, he sent his disciples disguised as assassins to kill him.
I guess I was testing them.
However, after this night, their suspicions should be completely eliminated, and they can feel at ease for a while.
"Before the people from the Thousand Emperor Sect leave, you will stay here temporarily. I think it won't be long before they leave."
Sure enough, within a day, news came that E Ji had left.
Suspicions have been ruled out for the time being in Liocheng, and there are two other places that have not yet investigated. Since E Ji suspects that his disciple's death is related to Rong Batian and others, he will not waste time.
The people from the Qiandi Sect left, and the city returned to its former peace.
